January 26, 2024 - Wow, this is a shining star. So beautiful and healthy to look at. Its gleaming with polish and luster in a mid weight, and shows the vibrance and persistence that is about to follow. Lots of tight fresh red fruit, with a well portioned dab of heavy oak that gives the fruit all the wood it can carry on its shoulders. Really deliciously judged oak treatment that would have probably been a little heavier feeling in youth, but has now been mostly melted into the wine. Laser like, precise, crisp, jubilant, and very lengthy with perfectly balanced acidity and good grip that tells me, you can hold this for another 5 years and sleep tight. The finish is very clean and fresh, and begs for another sip. Drink or Hold

April 13, 2018 - 2hr decant. Red fruit dominant with hints of chocolate, raspberry, raspberry liqueur, tannins and oak resolved. Dark and viscous lovely floral nose. Such a good wine.

July 23, 2016 - Really good stuff. Red and black fruit on a beautiful nose. Mint, toasty oak, acidic red and black fruit on the palate with silky tannins that were nicely integrated. Some graphite and scorched earth notes also. A real eye popper after the 2009 Corra, which held its own but not nearly enough tonight.

June 18, 2016 - Poured thick and chalky, deep purple red, almost brownish-black. Decanted 2.5 hrs. Heavy oak presence with tannins integrated on a delicious palate of blackberry syrup and hints of plum with touches of blueberry. Medium to long finish. After 60 min started to close off and tannins came out.
